Plant Modeling: To Model PHPS the three units should be studied together. The number of failure rates and repair
rates of a unit for five year and for all the units are taken to determine the plant availability and reliability. Similarly,
To Model CHPS the number of failure rates and repair rates of a unit for five year and for all the four units are taken
to determine the plant availability and reliability.
The state probabilities are determined by the same ways as for unit modeling. The probability of state 1 is the
probability that the three units (PHPS) are up
Probability of state 8 is the probability that all the units are down
Sahu and Barve 117
The frequency of encountering state 1 is, f1 = (λ1 + For evaluation of reliability and availability we will
λ2+λ3) P1 take the unit-I of PHPS,
The frequency of encountering state 8 is, f8 = (μ1 +
μ2+ μ3)/ P8
The transition rate matrix of fig.4 is determined by According to the definition of reliability is considered
the same way as the unit transition rate matrix. The as the probability of unit without failure.
probability of state 1 is the probability that the four Reliability = P0 +P3 = 0.996650
units (CHPS) are up
Similarly we calculate all unit of availability and
reliability of PHPS and CHPS, the result is as shown
in Table3 .Failure states are reset into the first repair
Probability of state 16 is the probability that all the state and therefore, the transition probabilities out of
units are down the failure states and out of the first repair state are
identical.
Plant Modeling: PHPS: The maximum number
component of state in a three component ,where each
The frequency of encountering state 1 is f1 = (λ1 + component can exist in two states, is 23 or 8.This is
λ2+λ3+ λ4) P1 shown in fig.3 in λ and μ which represents the failure
rate and repair rates of component and U and D
The frequency of encountering state 8 is F16 = (μ1 + indicates that the component is up or down
μ2+ μ3+ μ4)/ P16 respectively. The states to be combined for system
success and failure are: 2-out-of-3 system - success =
RESULTS states 1, 2, 3, 4 Failure = states 5, 6,7,8 as shown in
Table 5.
Hydro-Unit Modeling: For PHPS and CHPS, The
failure rate and repair rates for these states and their
probability are shown bellow in table.

CHPS: The maximum number component of state in a up or down respectively. The states to be combined for
four component ,where each component can exist in system success and failure are:
two states, is 24 or 16.This is shown in fig.3 in λ and μ 2-out-of-4system-Success = states
which represents the failure rate and repair rates of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Failure = states 12, 13, 14,
